Other things you can do to make sure your home is prepared for the snow include painting, caulking and sealing wood trim on the outside of your house to protect the wood from the elements, cleaning out your gutters and covering up any exposed pipes.

Dominion Hardware customer and Danville resident Jack Wietfeldt said Thursday that he was working on getting his home insulated.

"We just have to insulate around the doors and the windows and put stuff around there to keep the heat in," Wietfeldt said, explaining what he does to insulate his home.

He's not a big fan of snow in Southside.

"They say Sunday we may get a big (snowstorm). We just have to wait and see, and the good Lord's going to take care of us. I've got faith," Wietfeldt said.

Meade also had faith; faith that this weekend will be busy as people brace for whatever Mother Nature has in store.
